    ALLOCATOR_PROPERTIES *pProperties
);

Parameters

Value Description
S_OK Success
E_FAIL Failure

Remarks

This method is called when the CTransInPlaceFilter class needs to provide a buffer size to the downstream filter. If the CTransInPlaceFilter filter is already connected upstream, it uses the allocator properties on the upstream pin connection. Otherwise, it sets the buffer size to 1 byte as a temporary place-holder value. When the upstream filter connects, the CTransInPlaceFilter class renegotiates the downstream allocator. For more information about the pin connection process in this class, see CTransInPlaceFilter Class.
